Friendly Fire

I met you last January
At a party for some people I’d met
A couple of nights before
We got social and some things got heavy for a while
But the past is the past
You don’t tell, I don’t ask
And honestly, I was shook
There was tension on the telephone and
Days and days of awkward looks
Passed down by a boy with the crown
And a decade of feeling this way made me
Try to forget you
But then the tension starts to grow
And your attention had me thrilled, I couldn’t stop myself
All of the friends inside the circle
All these friends I never had
We are in our final days
I can feel it
And you predicted a change this year.
No one ever knows no one
And I am for the first time
Lost for words
Somebody figure me out
I’m a nervous wreck and I’m afraid to let you in
No one ever knows no one no more
No one ever knows no one
So we recall these mistakes
It makes me recall different days
I’ve seen the ends of people
Torn until they fray
And the lies and the disease
That create torrential downpours inside of me
Leave me to believe that I’m a hurricane
And my intensions are to shock and destroy
But then the tension starts to grow
And your attention had me thrilled, I couldn’t stop myself
All of the friends inside the circle
All these friends I never had
We are in our final days
I can feel it
And you predicted a change this year
No one ever knows no one
And I am for the first time
Lost for words
Somebody figure me out
I’m a nervous wreck and I’m afraid to let you in
No one ever knows no one no no
No one ever knows no one
Ahh ahh ahh ahh
ahh ahh ahh ahh
ahh ahh ahh ahh
ahh ahh ahh ohh!
(We are becoming different people becoming different people!)
Now you told me lies
I can never forget
I can only detect
The beating in my chest
Of the way they think
Of the way they act
Of the way they do
Now you told me lies
I can never forget.
I can only detect
The beating in my chest
Of the way they think
Of the way they act
Of the way they do.
No!
(We are becoming different people becoming different people!)
No one ever knows no one
No one ever knows no one
No one ever knows no one
No one ever knows no one
